[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is free to have whatever type of party she wants for her DD, though I suspect it's more for her than her DD. Whatever.  That's their decision.

But, a) OP seems overly wrapped up in how fancy the party was, how exclusive, how much she spent, etc. I guarantee this spilled down to her DD and the party was flaunted in the excluded girl's face.

and b) it was absolutely bitchy to not invite the 4th girl. You had no obligation to, but that's not what we are talking about. Put yourself - or your daughter- in her shoes. These are kids that are her friends, they play together regularly, and she is fairly new and so probably desperate for a "tribe" of her own. She probably thought she had it. And it was likely a slap in the face to not only not be invited, but to realized that the people you thought were good friends don't feel the same about you.

It's wrong of the mom to publicly complain about it. But, you kind of could see this going down. You excluded her kid. You did. You had that right, but you did. I'd be pissed too, but I wouldn't publicly say so. I'd manage my DD's feelings and we'd move on. But, I'd think less of you going forward.[/quote]

Sounds like the birthday girl has lots of friends. Surely more than 2 or 3 from soccer or whatever sport she's in and more than 2 or 3 from school  So I'm sure other girls got "excluded."  But the other parents weren't whiny.  You can't invite everyone, the little girl's mom that complained about it is socially inept.  [/quote]
